Whatever you think of the president who released Ross, this is a momental win for all of us, and especially for a family and a man who never lost hope. nostr:note1830n3vwnz9hka6shdl79u0t3apjwzreq404uk99kqnagrlf9zc4sd72r40

Did you read the sentencing transcript? It shows just how harshly our laws are applied with respect to drugs. It is terrible that some people overdosed, and I don’t excuse his role in that, however these people would have found other ways to obtain these substances, likely at great risk. The fact that no single dealer who used Silk Road served as severe a sentence shows the disparity. Two life sentences plus 40 years is ridiculous when you realize the kinds of people who are released back into society for truly heinous crimes and then continue to harm others.
You, sir, are being a wet blanket. That is your right. But allow the community to have their celebration. It’s been 12 years. This is more than just a symbolic victory.
